Eddie Hearn has announced five fighters who could box Anthony Joshua next.

Hearn had hopes for Joshua facing Tyson Fury following the latter’s second loss to Oleksandr Uysk. But The Gypsy King’s retirement has thrown a spanner in the works, with AJ looking elsewhere. Joshua is searching for an opponent after his loss to Daniel Dubois the last time out. Dubois stopped Joshua to retain his IBF Heavyweight Title. Hearn has listed the following fighters who could face AJ next: Joseph Parker, Daniel Dubois, Martin Bakole, Agit Kabayel, and Deontay Wilder.

“Daniel Dubois still [is the frontrunner]. In an ideal world, he will fight [Tyson] Fury, if not Dubois. There is also Joseph Parker, who I think would be a great fight, there is Agit Kabayel and Deontay Wilder, obviously [The Kingdom] has stated he would love to see that fight. We will have to see……..I guess the [Martin] Bakole fight is still there, but he would probably get criticised if he fought Bakole, so less likely,” Hearn said
